Spare Me, Great Lord!

Chapter 206: Sound of Dao (Part 2) Lu Shu then brought Lu Xiaoyu home to pack their stuff. He looked at the pink luggage bought yesterday and said in annoyance, “Didn’t I say to buy a white one? You had to insist on a pink one. How could a man like me be dragging such a girly thing?” “I am a girl, why can’t I think like one?” Lu Xiaoyu was dissatisfied. “But you’re not the one lugging the luggage!” Lu Shu was rather embarrassed, “I am a suave and charismatic daoyuan student! Military official! Why am I pulling a pink luggage around? It’s really gay!” “Lu Shu, from the words you used, do you have some misconceptions about yourself?” “No!” Little Fury was grasping a pencil and scribbling words intently at the side. It was delighted that these two people were going on a holiday. After all, it knew that they would definitely bring him along. Since being here from the realm of the remains, it had not been to any other city. Were there female squirrels in other cities? There were only rats and mice in this city, it was really degrading! It learned to be smart now. Whenever the siblings were squabbling, it would try not to be as prominent and stay quiet or else it might be dragged into their troubles! But it then heard Lu Shu say, “We’ll bring Little Fury’s tablet, pencil, and notebook as well. It’s important to learn and learning never stops!” Little Fury, “???” The pencil in Little Fury’s little paws started trembling slightly. Didn’t televisions show holidays and vacations as something relaxing and enjoyable? “From Little Fury’s distress, +1+1+1…” Lu Xiaoyu was also taken aback, “Is there really nothing wrong with this logic?” Lu Shu waved his arm, “Nothing at all!”

“We’ll be there for about ten days and apparently it’s quite cold at Qingzhou lake, where we are going to marvel the sunrise and sunset. Apparently, the weather is so cold that it’s normal to wear thick down jackets over there. So we not only need to bring enough inner clothing, we still have to bring jackets, and extra socks as well. After all, they don’t take up much space,” Lu Shu said while pondering. Lu Xiaoyu and he were now practitioners and they weren’t afraid of the cold anymore. When other people require down jackets, they’ll be able to make do with just a single layer of thin jacket. In this aspect, they were better off compared to commoners. This was one of the advantages of being a practitioner… Lu Shu continued, “We’ll have to bring detergent as well. Any other item we have to bring along as well?” “Instant noodles, potato chips and rice cakes!” Lu Xiaoyu said without holding back. “Why bring all those?” “It’s a 22-hour long train journey. We’ll definitely be eating on the train, at least 3 meals. I saw online that not only are meals on the train the worst, they are extremely expensive as well. Wouldn’t we be looking for trouble if we don’t bring our own food?” Lu Xiaoyu argued. “Then let’s just bring six packets of instant noodles,” Lu Shu nodded. Lu Xiaoyu had no expression on her face, “Lu Shu, one of these days you’ll lose me if you continue behaving this way!” “From Lu Xiaoyu’s distress, +199.” “Hahaha, alright I was just kidding! We’ll bring potato chips and rice cakes as well!” Lu Shu responded merrily, “We’ll buy some groceries after this. Our train is scheduled for tomorrow night, I’ll cook a meal in the afternoon and we can invite the old man and aunty Liu over for lunch. You’ve been eating at their house for so long, even if I did pay them, we still owe them a favor,” Lu Shu explained.

Although he gave 300 dollars to Aunty Liu for the food, and she would not reject him because she understood his personality, the 300 dollars were sufficient for the food, but why should they cook for you? This was all based on our relationship with them. To Lu Shu, the old man was a highly skilled class B practitioner and aunty Liu was definitely not much worse as well. But for some unknown reason, Lu Shu just can’t sense any energy waves from them. And this is in spite of him being able to sense Li Yixiao’s energy waves. It was not that Lu Shu thought that this aunty Liu was the boss of concealment. Lu Shu just felt that aunty Liu definitely had some special concealment technique. In the early morning of the day of their departure, Lu Shu went over to train on his swordplay as usual. To Lu Shu, since training was something that required commitment and determination, he would persevere and stay committed to the end. The sky at 3 am was still dark, but the old man’s yard had lights built such that it was convenient for him to read there. The old man asked, “It seems like you guys are going out?” “Yeah,” Lu Shu nodded, “Come over to my place with aunty Liu this afternoon for lunch! I’ve already bought the ingredients.” “Alright,” Li Xianyi nodded his head, “It’s good to spend some time outside as well. Being well-versed in knowledge and being exposed to the world. These two aspects would greatly heighten a person’s understanding of the world. However…” Li Xianyi, at this moment, wanted to remind Lu Shu to not forget about training his swordplay even though he’s out having fun. After all, training is like sailing against the current. In the end, he realized that his words were futile as he was halfway through. With Lu Shu’s stubborn and determined personality, he would train sincerely even without any reminders. Li Xianyi was thoroughly impressed by Lu Shu’s character. It’s not as if he can’t be impressed by Lu Shu just because he was so much younger than him. In fact, Lu Shu’s determination was far greater than his when he was Lu Shu’s age. Take Lu Shu’s chi for example. Within a month, Lu Shu’s chi had far surpassed his level when he just unlocked his mountain of chi. Li Xianyi wondered how much longer Lu Shu could hold it in. He watched as Lu Shu focused on his training, going into deep thought. But just then, in the quiet night, a distinct sound of dripping water could be heard. This sound was crisp as if it was dripping right in Li Xianyi’s heart. It was like when thick clouds in the sky gathered together and finally reached the critical value, a drop of water would fall. The sound was real but Li Xianyi was very clear that this wasn’t a real drop of water!

This was the sound of the martial dao! Only when a true practitioner reaches a certain level would such a sound surface! It’s the sound of ‘dao’! He turned towards Lu Shu. No one else was there apart from Lu Shu. If it wasn’t himself, then it definitely came from Lu Shu!

Li Xianyi then shut both of his eyes suddenly, only then can he truly feel it more intricately. He ‘saw’ Lu Shu’s chi outside of his sea of chi. It was really amassing to form clouds and rain!

The sound of water previously was the sound of a water droplet from Lu Shu’s cloud!

Amongst the people with Li Xianyi, no one had witnessed chi as vast as the ocean, not even in the form of rivers. But chi amassing into clouds and raindrops was something seen once in a blue moon. One elder who achieved the raindrops wrote in the manual, ‘As of today, Chi raindrops were achieved and it was accompanied by the sound of dao’.
